there are WAY more assholes than non-assholes .. it's a shame but in this day and age, the majority of people are only concerned about their own personal needs ..

Do the team members ever check their mail?

A lot of assholes seem to gravitate towards Whole Foods! I know! I used to work there!

i agree with these signs too. i mean we all know these vagabons come off the street to eat from the food bins and listen to the hippest new music. i mean cant we just give those horrible dirty homeless people some head phones and send them back to the dumpsters where they belong.

god not PHIL again . i mean this guy has been there and done that. and he is dying for anyone to ask him. just look in the past. rather have PHIL look in the past for he is a history major. wow phil no one cares. no one cares at all. trust me when i say that ed will not say something like wow hey phil that is so cool that you have a normal boring job you should hang out with me in my huge house and come to art show with me where i will intro you as PHIL my hip cool friend who has done everything. you will never be surrounded by a crowd that is hanging on your everyword. the only time you will be surrounded is when the local football jock finds you trying to goose his sleeping 13 yearold sister so he gets his friends to kick your ass. BORING.

What's wrong with Phil? I like Phil. Phil is a good poster. I WOULD hang out with him...

Leave Phil Alone, Griffin!

Dear “i know karate the hard way”, AKA Griffin.

Thank you for the lovely comments. You’ve obviously put a lot of effort towards improving your spelling and basic sentence structure since your last jumbled post. Whereas I once imagined you as a 14-16 year old suburban white boy with ADHD, I now know differently. In reality, you’re just a twenty-something hipster who needs a little help. I know you’re trying to make coherent, intelligible sense dammit! Keep up the hard work buddy! (hey, you know that I’ve got a degree right? Maybe I could give you some tutoring one of these days!)
Anyways, for now, let’s take a look at the “body” of your latest run-on-sentence, shall we? Now while it is probably a stretch to say that I’ve done everything, I can certainly say that I have had my share of interesting life experiences—good and bad—in my 23 years Grif. And yes, I have worked my share of “normal” jobs, Whole Foods being one of them. Hell, I’ll even let you know that I’m about to head off to my latest normal job in a couple of hours. But wait… why am I telling you this? I mean, after all, none of this compares to your life, which is truly first grade. HOLY FUCK! You’re out there making it happen Grif! Lurking around a handful of famous pros… working as an extra in spin off movies (music videos too perhaps?)…hanging out with the offspring of washed up Hollywood celebrities… lets not forget shaving your ass and whipping your little wiener out during KOTR! The list goes on!
But truthfully now brother (and to save space, cause you’re not worth it), I’ve been skating for over 10 years now, and I’ve never heard of you anywhere before visiting this website. And I’m willing to wager that I’m not going to hear much about you in the future either. Why’s that you say? Well, my first guess is that you’re something of a skate-team groupie with an over-inflated ego. You’re not good enough to be pro, you’re not good enough to be a real actor, and you’re not funny. To put it simply, right now you strike me primarily as being an ASSHOLE, which is ironic considering the nature of this message thread. ( I’ll teach you about irony later).
Anyways, Griffin, as always it’s been a pleasure. I look forward to deciphering your posts in the future.

Thanks for defending me Ed! It's appreciated!

Posted By: Phil on September 11th, 2006 at 09:49AM PST

Hey ed,would you hang out with me?
I thought WE had something
*sob *sob :'(

I believe around 75% of people are assholes. Maybe it's because of getting threanted and bitched out pretty much everywhere for skateboarding or maybe its more likr 50%? ..has to be atleast.

i hate when people fight a lot on this because its lame. sometimes phil does seem a little bit like hes bragging but he never says anything bad about anyone and usually has something interesting to say. and griffin is cool too, im sure he is important because he wouldnt be talked about otherwise. and whole foods is cool too, except they dont have any where i live anymore.

Posted By: icantadd on September 11th, 2006 at 01:53PM PST

Phil- you are so on point with you retaliation. i must say it was done in proper form. harsh, unapologetic, and bitter to the core. i like it. i must explain my stand point so we are actually clear on what is going on here. so i will respond to your post in the best manner that i can and hopefully this will clear some air.
1.I once imagined you as a 14-16 year old suburban white boy with ADHD, I now know differently.- i am a suburban white boy. and i do bet that everyone has a form of ADHD. i have never had a doctor actually look in to that. i bet i am a bit of a spazz.
2.Maybe I could give you some tutoring one of these days!- any offer of help is greatly welcomed. i am a sponge. afterall this is how this little picking came about. you offered me some history site and i checked it out and thanked you and i think it was taken the wrong way. so i had a bit of fun with it. god knows this site can get a bit mundane.
3.I have had my share of interesting life experiences—good and bad—in my 23 years Grif. - come on man this is not the place for that shit. infact this doesnt even belong here. this whole little thing i am doing right here. this is bullshit and it was fun because you and i were both faceless. and now because the menace which lies in me also lies in the head of Ed, he found it amusing to call me out. now you know me as a figure you can project your hate towards. we have all had our own lives. ups and downs. save it.
4. none of this compares to your life, which is truly first grade. HOLY FUCK!- now this one i dont really get. you were understandably angry.
5.Lurking around a handful of famous pros- my friends are cool as fuck. dont bother dragging that shit into this. a friend is a friend no matter what they do. Ed is a total dildo and i am still his friend.
6.lets not forget shaving your ass and whipping your little wiener out during KOTR!- i shaved my head and eyebrows. you could not see my junk. And making a dick call is so lame. seriously, that shit should stay in the locker room with the rest of the jocks.
7.and to save space, cause you’re not worth it- this you could have done a little better. Just picking at you a bit. fair is fair.
8.I’ve never heard of you anywhere - yet you cant get enough of me.
9.I’m willing to wager that I’m not going to hear much about you in the future either. Why’s that you say? - i would say because you are so worked up that you will die of a heart attack. and it will be hard to see me from hell. burn.
9.you’re something of a skate-team groupie with an over-inflated ego. You’re not good enough to be pro, you’re not good enough to be a real actor, and you’re not funny.- you are a hate filled person. take it out on your dad for leaving your mom. it is not my fault and it is not yours. just get yourself in check. for yourself.
10.You strike me primarily as being an ASSHOLE,- you know this one is funny because just the other day i was talking with someone about how many times in my life i have been called an asshole. i am not even offended. infact i think it is kinda funny now.
11.Griffin, as always it’s been a pleasure. - really? you sound pretty worked up about this.
12.I look forward to deciphering your posts in the future. - what is hidden? i guess the spelling could use work but i never had undertones. i just called you out for being a been there done that kind of guy. it is funny when you think about it.
any shit man this is all a for of entertainment to the tempster. so maybe he wouldn't take you to an art show and hang out with you but take comfort in the idea that we are both pawns in the twisted game of ed templeton's mind. shit i had fun. you are a worthy waste of thought. admidt it, you love this. you truely do in the way we all do. we are just on different sides. so in closing, i do hope you keep posting. but please save the wrath for a deserving foe. i am just a bored dude on a computer.

Dear Griffin,

Cool. Point taken and understood. I can get a little worked up sometimes, but in this case I see no reason to be angry. I don't like to fight. PEACE.

Posted By: Phil on September 11th, 2006 at 08:51PM PST

That was mean Phil.

Thanks for making it good.

Posted By: ed on September 11th, 2006 at 09:04PM PST

I know it was a mean post. I felt bad about it this afternoon, actually. It was extreme. I'm glad he took it so well, and that he was willing to explain everything to me afterwards. Anyways, I hope all is well now...
